[Spoilers] Dtay's first PB: When you play a game of CIV, you win or you die

[dtay]

Well played dtay, you made me all over again about moving the destroyers into your vision (I still have no idea why I did that - I knew you could see that tile ) would you have gone for Agincourt without that slip and/or the silly demand I made for your island cities?

I'm glad you did either way - the fighting was the most fun I had all game, you were totally on the ball though and kept punishing every one of my mistakes .

Thanks, I had a lot of fun as well.

Hmm, the Agincourt counterfactual is hard. If you take away ALL the quasi-aggressive actions, I think it would have been something like 70% odds I do nothing. I was reasonably sure doing that was signing a long term death warrant, and that I thought war was coming played a lot into my calculation. Though if I'm honest, being out of it the prospect of pulling off a mass-produced commando capital raze was attractive in its own right that there's some chance (that ~30% up there) I would have done it anyway.

The island demand probably upped my guard the most since it from my perspective felt like a better data point on your intentions than just troop positioning which I find easy to misinterpret. Next would be the privateer killing the caravel. The destroyers coming into view didn't up my guard that much more than it already was, though it obviously let me move my fleet back our of range for when fighting actually did happen.
